About Us

St Mary’s Church in Wales VA Primary School, Brymbo is a warm, welcoming and inclusive school community where staff are valued and supported to thrive. We are proud of our strong Christian ethos, where our vision “Believing and Growing, Learning and Achieving, with God by our side” underpins everything we do.

Mae Ysgol Gynradd yr Eglwys yng Nghymru y Santes Fair, Brymbo yn gymuned ysgol gynnes, groesawgar a chynhwysol lle mae staff yn cael eu gwerthfawrogi a'u cefnogi i ffynnu. Rydym yn falch o'n hethos Cristnogol cryf, lle mae ein gweledigaeth - “Credu a Thyfu, Dysgu a Chyflawni, gyda Duw wrth ein hochr” - yn sail i bopeth rydym yn ei wneud.

Yn Ysgol y Santes Fair, rydym yn meithrin amgylchedd gwaith cydweithredol a meithringar, lle mae gweithwyr proffesiynol ymroddedig yn gweithio gyda'i gilydd i sicrhau bod pob plentyn yn teimlo'n ddiogel, wedi'i ysbrydoli, ac yn gallu cyflawni ei orau glas. Mae ein tîm ymroddedig yn elwa o berthnasoedd cryf â theuluoedd, llywodraethwyr a'r gymuned ehangach, gan greu ymdeimlad gwirioneddol o berthyn a phwrpas cyffredin.

Rydym yn ysgol gynradd glos (3–11 oed) sy'n gwerthfawrogi creadigrwydd, disgwyliadau uchel a datblygiad proffesiynol parhaus, gan wneud Ysgol y Santes Fair yn lle gwerth chweil a boddhaus i weithio.
